NAME

Tk::FBox − a file dialog

SYNOPSIS

use Tk::FBox;
$file = $mw−>FBox(...)−>Show;

DESCRIPTION

"Tk::FBox" is the dialog implementation behind the "getOpenFile", "getSaveFile", and "chooseDirectory" method calls in the Unix/X11 world. As such, it supports all options for these methods and additionally:
−sortcmd => sub { $_[0] cmp $_[1] }

Specified a callback for changing the sorting of the icons in the "IconList" widget. By default, perl’s "cmp" operator will be used.

From the source code:

# Using −sortcmd is really strange :−(
# $top−>getOpenFile(−sortcmd => sub { package Tk::FBox; uc $b cmp uc $a});
# or, un−perlish, but useable (now activated in code):
# $top−>getOpenFile(−sortcmd => sub { uc $_[1] cmp uc $_[0]});

This is an experimental option!

−type => $type

Type should be "open" for choosing existing files to open (default), "save" for choosing existing or non-existing files to save, or "dir" for choosing directories.

−filter => $glob

A file glob to restrict displayed files. This is only active if no −filetypes are defined.

−force => $bool

If true, then there will be no dialog if a file already exists.
